Hey
#smectite folks, have you read this? Not just#kittylitter

Today I'm voting smectite for its many uses, including in kitty litter. As a cat-lover, I cannot ignore.

Is
#FLUORITE pretty ? Absolutely. Does it help with explosive diarrhea ? No.#SMECTITE is the real hero here.#MinCup2019pic.twitter.com/qV0xuUXn4Q

#smectite montmorillonite (purple in this edx map) is small, true, but important in lots of subduction zone faults. It's nasty as it can help earthquake propagation due to its low energy dissipation. Wherever you find it, it lubricates (if wet). VOTE FOR IT! pic.twitter.com/ON6yJKqAuF

I'm voting
#smectite because it is an important product of aqueous alteration found on water-rich asteroids. Clay minerals get a poor look-in for popularity (I suspect), but they have important industrial applications and complex structures -
Soil people! We need everyone helping vote for

I feel like I've got to pitch for team
#Smectite in#MinCup2019 - we send amazing space robots millions of miles to go untangle the clues about how our solar system formed in its earliest stages by looking for smectites and understanding what they're made of. Worth it! -
#smectite is a major constituent of bentonite deposits, weathered volcanic rock which has taken me to fantastic places like Almeria where it's found in the Cabo de Gata volcanics. Vote smectite in#MinCup2029pic.twitter.com/KuDiCWK6JV
